Prayer of St. Anthony of Padua
Anthony, through your teaching and preaching you bore witness to the loving presence of God in all of creation. Now that you have come into the fullness of the kingdom, pray for us that our lives might also proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all humanity.

V. Pray for us, St. Anthony
R. Help us become worthy of the promise of Christ.

Almighty, Eternal God, you have given your people St. Anthony as an outstanding preacher and intercessor in times of need. Grant that with his help we may follow in the example of Christian living and experience your support in all adversities. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Every mother of a growing daughter recognizes the same quiet question. When will she ask? What will I say? The archdiocese, in partnership with Natural Womanhood, hosts the Period Genius Workshop at St. Matthew Church (directions). The day is built for fifth and sixth grade girls and their mothers, gathering for body literacy, cycle awareness, and meaningful conversation in a Catholic setting. There are no awkward surprises. Just a clear, age-appropriate framework, presented by Catholic mother of five Jackie Aguilar, that helps your daughter understand her body and helps you lead the conversation with confidence. We hope you will join us at the very beginning.

Join us as we begin our summertime Sunrise Community Caminos, early morning pilgrimages to welcome the day before the Texas heat settles in. You can start with prayer and reflection at Mission Concepción, then we will set out along the San Antonio River as the first light of morning begins to rise across the sky. The Camino comes alive in a different way at sunrise with the quiet sound of the river, birds greeting the day, cool morning air, and the peaceful beauty of God’s creation coming to light around us. Walking together in community toward San Fernando Cathedral, this first of three spiritual walks offers a chance to slow down, reflect, and begin the day with purpose, peace, and gratitude. Check-in begins at 6 a.m. at the Padre Margil Pilgrimage Center (directions).

Summer opens the door to new places. Road trips, ball games, lazy mornings, and long evenings on the porch. Wherever your family travels this season, the archdiocese invites you into the God on the Go Summer Challenge. The idea is simple and joyful. Download your family’s God on the Go Buddy, prepare him to travel with you, and bring him along from breakfast to the city park to Sunday Mass. As Jesus promised, “Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Let your children see this summer that faith is not left behind at the church door. It walks with us into every ordinary moment.
